MH Challenges
said on Jan 10, 2010 at 06:59 PM

I'm not sure if I should post this here, or even at all, but I had what cuold be a pretty fun idea. You see, I was thinking that maybe we could have specific challenges for a game of Making History. For example, a challenge could be to take over a certain country as another specific country. All challenges will be put in this post, and anyone can propose a challenge at any time. Keep in mind, this is only for fun. We're not trying to see which players are the best. This is just for those who want a bit more of a challenge when they play. I don't know if this is a good idea or not, or if anyone will even want to do this. What do you guys think?

EDIT2: If you say you completed a challenge, I'll just take your word for it.

Sounds good, but you kind of need some way for people to prove that they did these, instead of just saying they did it, even if it is just for fun.

How about we demand $300 and a screenshot? (Well, at least the second part ^_^)

I was actually thinking of something involving proof, but my idea seemed stupid, so I just dumped the whole thing.

New Challenge up, by the way.

150th Post!!!

I was thinking somewhere more in the $100 dollar range, and then an attached MH resime sheet, and a paper signed by at LEAST, five witnesses, and then a PHOTO ALBUM, of the acheivment.

I have completed challange #2 before in 1944. Well, just barely, the soviets were stalled in East Prussia, Masovia, Mieloposkie (or whatever), and Slovakia. I found it relatively easy to destroy the western allies before they advanced too far past Normandy. I engaged them in Paris where they were encircled, destroying the bulk of the British and American forces. I have no clue why the Soviets halted advance though. Oh yeah, also there were no battles in Italy until about July 1945 when the Americans took Lombardy, other than that, they didnt advance an inch.

Sadly I did eventually fall in January 1946. The stalled Soviet advance continued it's advance and eventually conquered Berlin in March 1946. I was reading though my new book, and according to the book, I made some mistakes that Hitler made, especially with my "hold-at-all-costs policy" lol. I did manage to hold some pockets of resistance FAR behind the lines. I remember Courland, Harien (If that's how it's spelt) and East Prussia all remained sitting there unable to move all the way until May 1946.

Also, sadly the allies had some reserves left in Britain or soemthing because the Brits and Americans managed to gain a titanic amount of strength for another D-Day, but in Picardy. My remaining troops in France were unable to counter their attacks, and I retreated back to Piedmont and the West-Wall.

Sadly I dont have a screenshot though i guess i should take one next time XD.

ok. No screenshot left? ;)

I am doing fine, I have to play another 100 turn or so, but I am the strongest nation on the globe now, defeated Italy, Russia, Yugoslavia, Chechoslovakia, and I have a real strong army with advanced tanks and jet fighter and strategic bombers and all that. So I am doing fine, just made peace with russia, and just waiting what will happen. It will be easy to hold on my position. I am 300 power points ahead of the US, so no problemo. I don't think I will finish the game soon, as I have a lot going on these days. But, when I can, I will post a picture of it ok?

That would actually be very easy, as you would still have the Dutch East Indies and Suriname.
